Four-Year Graduation Guarantee

How does it work?

University staff will work with you to set up the courses needed to meet the requirements of your program (major). If a course is not available, the university will arrange a substitute course so that you can stay on track to graduate in four years.

Who is eligible?

You are eligible if:

You apply during your first term of enrollment, whether fall or spring.

Your placement test scores have placed you into the course levels required in your declared program.

In addition, you are allowed prior college credit from another post-secondary while you were in high school.

Benefits

You can enter the work force or move on to graduate school sooner.

You can save a significant amount of money on tuition and living expenses.

You can experience all that UW-Stout has to offer, including internships, co-ops and studying abroad.

With the four-year graduation guarantee, you will:

Work closely with your first year and faculty advisers, who will provide information on how to complete your degree in four years.

Work with your program director, who will provide a program plan and suggested eight-semester sequence to guide you.

Sign up! Here's how:

There is no penalty for signing the Four-Year Graduation Guarantee. If you decide to change your major, or simply cannot complete your degree in four years, you may cancel the contract.
